About this document
Time-Dependent Deformation in Rocks by Ali Wassan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses time dependent deformation of rocks. It explains that rock strength reduces by about 50% under long term constant loading. Deformation occurs gradually over time rather than instantaneously. Some rocks like gabbro and granite show little time-dependent strain, while others like salt and coal show much greater creep. Understanding time-dependent behavior is important for underground mine design and other geological applications. Creep studies can help explain rockbursts by gradual stre
